I really wanted to create art that would have its own life, be played for centuries, communicating long after my life is over.

I use wood carving to create relief sculpture art guitars. Bringing broken valueless guitars and occasional fresh wood to life.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration in the people I am making the guitars for. Usually based on spirit animals but my favorite design is the bird.
What would you do with $25,000?Buy and make more guitars. It is a fairly expensive habit. I would never carve anything vintage or valuable because guitars are already art. I make the unwanted and unloved lovable, bold, and magical again with just cheap hand tools.
